I had the ahi which was great. The artichoke spinach dip had a nice flavor (order bread the crackers were fine but bread would be better), the peach 🍑 lemonade was delicious...then the surprise. I took home the mushroom tortellini and had it later for dinner and the flavor was AMAZING! My daughter loved her salmon too. The have so many options for vegan & gluten free diets as well!
I wish I had found this restaurant sooner! If you're gluten-free, this place is absolute heaven!
Everything on the menu is gluten-free and the ingredients for the waffle batter are listed in the front of the menu. This is especially important for others who, like me, have multiple allergies.
Wait staff is excellent at answering questions about items on the menu. They have a wonderful variety of waffle dishes, both savory and sweet, which is their specialty. It's so hard to find a safe, gluten-free waffle when you eat out, and they not only have Celiac safe food, it's absolutely five-star yummy!
My partner, who can eat anything, says that he can't tell these are not traditional wheat waffles. Although he can order any item from the menu, he always get waffles. That's how good they are!
They also have a fun atmosphere with a fish aquarium on the big screen and a cozy setting where you can relax and enjoy your scrumptious food.
Go there and eat waffles for breakfast, brunch and lunch! You'll be glad that you did!
First time at the Soar Cafe. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was great! The wife has celiacs and absolutely no issues with the food and processing. Cute and historic place. Also, the water was amazing! Server said it’s from an artesian well! No chlorine taste like most city water.
Great that there were so many gluten free options. Espresso drinks were great, service staff were very kind. Seating was okay- it was rainy when we went, so we couldn't sit outside but I bet that'd be nice. Highly recommend the herb/cheddar scone!
New favorite breakfast joint in down town! Love all their gluten free options. Wonderful service and food. Love that their patio is dog friendly! Definitely can’t wait to come back again! Would recommend to anyone :)
TONS of Gluten Free options here! Very friendly, very accommodating! Great foods! This is a vegan restaurant and they have soooooooo many gluten free options.
If you’re looking for a place to grab the most fantastic brunch in town, you’ve found it! The chef puts together a seasonal menu that is definitely outside the box and very fresh! Lots of amazingly delicious gluten free options.
Such a great place right off the highway. They have many gluten free options. They know what's gf and what's not. Service was prompt and nice. I got the burger with a GF bun and the bun was not dry or did it crumble in my hands. Wish I was closer. You should eat here. Only downside is the paper towels suck in the bathroom.
It’s an iHop, what more could you want? Open early and closing late, and hot breakfast thrown your way. It’s pretty good here, and I’ve always had good service. Last time I was there, I tried the gluten-free pancakes, and they were not my favorite. But I feel like that was on me for expecting more.
Local small business with a decent variety, lots of vegetarian/vegan options and gluten-free options are noted on the menu. I prefer my sweet potato fries a bit more crispy, and it was a little pricey, but the chimchurri chicken tacos were amazing.
This has become one of my favorite places to grab a bite in Oly. Truly a hidden Gem! Gluten free Sammy's. I LOVE their raspberry grilled cheese with chicken added. Handcrafted shakes or juice and coffee. If you have not already you must try out this place and check out their Sanctuary outside seating. They place soundbath music. And sell cute little trinkets too.
*Gluten free and vegan options available*
Disappointed… all the reviews looked so good and I was excited to try this place. I was very articulate about my order. I asked for the avocado toast without the seasoning and on gluten free bread. I also asked for 2 poached eggs instead of the pickled beet egg.
I received one egg, poached hard. The guacamole on the bread was extremely salty. The fruit on the side was old and browning. I asked the waitress for my second egg and she said it only comes with one, but I reminded her I had asked for two and that I was fine with the extra charge. I got it and it was poached correctly, alhamdulillah.
Wait time was very long. We waited 30 minutes for our food. My grandma got a waffle which she said was “fine”.
Overall, I wouldn’t come here again.
Super popular location, so if you are in a rush, consider visiting just before or after the lunch hours as they are seemingly always slammed. The staff are a mix of really dynamic personalities and lackluster folks just there for a paycheck. For the most part, they are fantastic. I frequent this place and my only wish is that they offer more gluten free options and label the ones they do have. Once, I overheard an employee tell a customer that certain holiday cookies were gluten free, but there was no way to know to ask that. If you need to customize your order, I recommend you go inside. The drive thru is next to a busy street and the staff often struggle to hear over the road noise, especially on rainy days.
Love this place. Everything about it.
A great casual breakfast place and friends' meetup spot for a bite of good food.
I think they have more than breakfast?...look it up!
The home fries...crispy on all sides!
The Benedict...excellent ham, homemade and spectacular Hollandaise.
The poached egg...solid whites and perfect runny yolks (super fresh egg) to soak into my optional gluten free toast
French toast looked scrumptious and the biscuits looked excellent....next time!
The staff and owner...warm.and kind.
The weekend wait?...coffee and cups and cream await you..no begging the busy staff...go pour yourself a cup and chat or people watch or stare at your shoes. BITS is worth the wait.
Welcome environment and quick to grab a bite for lunch on a work break. I got the hot Pear ham sandwich on a gluten-free bun, and it was good. My only complaint was way too heavy on the mustard it overpowered everything. Next time, I will ask for light sausing. Overall 4/5 rating, and I'll visit again. They are pricing. I paid $15 for one sandwich.
I liked their ceviche and had a nice mint cocktail that I'd recommend. The portions vary a lot. I got the diavola prawns and it was enough to share while my partner got street tacos that were much smaller. The tortillas were freshly made, so get the corn ones!
Atmosphere is kitchy. There's a taco truck parked inside that's part function part decor. Not fancy. Laid back. Good for a dressed down kind of night. Not too loud.
Kids would be ok here although there's a bar partitioned off. Patio looked appealing for warmer weather.
There were good gluten free options. My partner got street tacos that fit for gluten free dairy free.
Staff were very helpful about the food allergies. Not as attentive to timing with the bill. You may need to be a bit more visible and ask for your check. Parking was easy. It's just off I-5.
Had the annie burger with gluten free bun. Unfortunately got so sick the next morning I believe this was not a gluten free bun. Celiacs beware. Service was excellent though and all other food was good for the family.
This was my first time here. I may return but my expectations aren't too high. The group I was with was satisfied with their meals, especially the beignets. They did look very tasty! That being said, I have celiac and am limited in food choices. The person who planned this event chose Octapas because they had gluten free options. Actually there were 2 options. One was huevos rancheros, that is what I chose, hard to mess it up. Boy was I wrong. The good first, the eggs were perfectly cooked and the few bits of cheese were authentic. The not so good, my plate and meal were cold, the beans were strained before putting them on the plate so now were dry(and cold), I swear the sauce - which should be a ranchero sauce with a flavorful Chile taste and aroma- came right out of a can labeled tomato paste. It had some dried green herbs sprinkled on it... and did I mention it was cold. There was no rice or potatoes - as is customary with huevos rancheros. I finished it quickly but left hungry. There is another gluten free options on the menu... I may try it, hope it isn't cold. The server was very attentive and checked on us often. The atmosphere was very nice and we all appreciated the artwork on the walls.
Love this location much more than the Tacoma Proctor district location. Visited today on our way to Oregon with my husband and two little boys. This has a much more welcoming energy, smaller, outside seating only. Our barista was a pleasure to talk to, so personable, helpful and kind. She was my ideal barista. I wish I had caught her name to give her kudos for being a bright light in our day. The coffees are perfect and the treats are a great pairing. I appreciate they have gluten free and gluten free + vegan options. Thank you!
Foods good. They could use an extra person more often but I get the struggle. Vibe is decent seating could use a cushion or 3. My partner loves the gluten free macaroons.
The pulled pork and brisket were cooked great and had excellent flavor. The BBQ sauce is gluten free and non gmo. Flavor on the beans was really nice, just a small amount of heat. Worth the stop - be hungry, the portions are generous. Really friendly owner. Support this small business.
More than any other aspect of our dining experience, our server, Shianne, was just wonderful! It was a very busy Sunday breakfast, but regardless of our request (more coffee, napkins, and syrup), she brought them to us immediately with a huge smile and happy attitude. Thank you, Shianne, for making our breakfast fabulous!
Overall, the restaurant was very clean, including bathrooms, during the busy breakfast. We had very efficient service, with the food being served much more quickly than anticipated, based on the crowd. We loved that they leave a full carafe of coffee for you, with another brought when you need it. There is no need to try to catch the server's eye and ask for refills. The food was good pancake house fare, with more options than we thought possible (including vegetarian and gluten free, which were clearly marked).
Overall, it was a great experience!
Absolutely the most delicious donuts in town. They have different flavors daily, reasonably priced and is family owned. Their homemade flan is incredible, and they have vegan and gluten free options. Highly recommend this place
The revamp of the Reef is spot on! They have gluten free options for their sandwiches, and the kimchi rice and lemongrass curry were so good! Our server Isaiah was great- responsive and friendly!
I go to Oregon but once a year and go out of my way for the Fatso's burgers. I had their tomato basil soup with it this time. It was so delicious that i bought another cup to go. Everything is Celiac safe. I wish they were everywhere!
